In the end of the 4th quarter, when Collinsworthless was interviewing / introducing some new commentator (a retired Patriot's player) NBC will be using, and they would not shut up, talking over actual plays (which I was still interested in seeing) MUTE came in handy as well, FF only between plays.<br /><br />"Magical and pathetic" are extremely accurate, as I have spent many a Sunday in such a way. DVR now enables me to not "miss any action" while skipping the tedium I had not love for.<br /><br />Once, at Tim Beitz's home in Ohio, I was impatient to watch The Daily Show, and Tim reprimanded me gently "you can watch it now, with commercials, or, we can watch it in 15 minutes" - until I'd actively used a DVR, that thought never occurred to me, and I thought I was smarter than the "average Bear" (fan).JustJoePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882794348703779345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745824333843276309.post-3872482980501490132009-08-31T12:28:44.031-07:002009-08-31T12:28:44.031-07:00zim, ease into it: start by pausing, at the start,...zim, ease into it: start by pausing, at the start, just for 15 minutes while you do something else. Then skip commercials. If that works, take it farther, until you work up to "catching up" with live only after halftime. That alone will save you up to an hour per game.pykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845984235403387118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745824333843276309.post-24390294990901566822009-08-31T12:24:41.446-07:002009-08-31T12:24:41.446-07:00Big fan of the DVR, except for sports.

I guess I'm too tempted to FF (or check online) to see the result. <br /><br />And there is something magical and pathetic with spending an entire Sunday watching the 3 games network tv provides for me, neatly spaced so I miss nothing but have no time to do anything else that day.zimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072367389475963710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745824333843276309.post-86180548786525520802009-08-31T12:15:03.132-07:002009-08-31T12:15:03.132-07:00Totally agree on the DVR.

I will find something else to do if what I want to watch is just starting.pykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845984235403387118noreply@blogger.com
